00:00So President Trump has designated Trende Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization
00:07and deported its members while also moving to restrict Venezuela's oil exports.
00:12Is the administration preparing additional military or economic actions against Venezuela
00:16and the Maduro regime? And my second question is about Supreme Court Justice Amy Comey Barrett.
00:22Does the administration have a comment on her decision to go with the liberals and
00:26go actually with the Trende Araguas? This is the same justice that actually sided against January 6th hostages last year.
00:32So is the administration have a comment? Are they disappointed in Supreme Court Justice Amy Comey Barrett?
00:37To your first question, I don't have any actions to read out in terms of Venezuela.
00:42The president has imposed secondary tariffs on the Maduro regime and on Venezuela in the form of oil,
00:48which is obviously going to have a crippling effect on the Maduro regime, and that's the intended effect of this administration.
00:54As for the justice you mentioned, as for the Supreme Court, we've made our feelings very clear.
01:00We believe this was a massive victory. Certainly we wish this was a nine-to-nothing decision
01:04because we firmly believe that the president was well within his constitutional authority,
01:08and the Supreme Court made that very clear last night, and they put Judge Boasberg in his place.
01:13We called on the Supreme Court to rein in these judges who are acting as judicial activists,
01:18not real arbiters of the truth and the law, and that's exactly what we saw the Supreme Court do yesterday.
01:22Okay.
